2020 40 Under 40: Cole Currier, 36

Cole Currier realized the value of real estate early in his career, eventually leading to opening up his firm, Foggy River Realty in 2012.

He knew it would be an uphill battle to grow his own firm, after starting as a Realtor in 2009 during the Great Recession. By using precision marketing and meeting his clients’ goals, his business continued to grow. Over the last four years, Currier was ranked No.1 of over 400 agents in the Branson Tri-Lakes market for total sales volume.

Currier has participated in many volunteer positions in the community – such as vice chair of Branson’s Historic Downtown Community Improvement District and a member of the Branson Public Schools Board of Education.

What was your first job? Singing at the Gazebo Stage at Silver Dollar City. My family drove me back and forth from Enid, Oklahoma, to Branson every weekend the summer of ‘97 to chase the dream.

What did you learn the hard way? When you are willing to tell the hard truth, you build trust and your client relationship is strengthened over the long term.

What’s your most treasured possession? Our boat. Our favorite dates as a couple and best times together as a family usually involve time out on the water.

Have you ever met a celebrity? Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) was a judge of a singing competition I was in when I was 12. She told me I was cute.
